Posted on by winter oak

by Crow Qu’appelle For years, it has been undeniable that there has been a concerted COINTELPRO-style campaign targeting the anarchist left in the U.S. This has been an incontrovertible fact since at least 2021, when the Grayzone published an expose of Alexander Reid Ross, former editor of the Earth First! Journal, author of Against the Fascist … Continue reading How intelligence agents hijacked the U.S. anarchist movement and steered it into a dead end

Phoney anti-fascists target the real thing

Posted on by winter oak

by Paul Cudenec More shocking evidence has emerged of the way in which genuine anti-system dissidents are being maliciously smeared and “cancelled” by pseudo-leftists with a suspicious agenda. The latest target for the trolls is someone whose work I have been enjoying for years, an anti-fascist folk singer/songwriter from the USA who also regularly tours in … Continue reading Phoney anti-fascists target the real thing

Fascist smears: what they tell us

Posted on by winter oak

by Paul Cudenec I have written extensively in recent years about the way in which accusations of “fascism” are used to smear radical opponents of a system that is, itself, a mutation of fascism. The issue is addressed in Fascism Rebranded, in various contributions to The Acorn (see here, here and here) and in my political novels No Such Place as Asha (2019) and Enemies … Continue reading Fascist smears: what they tell us

For nature and freedom!

Posted on by winter oak

[Audio version] Three years ago we published an article explaining how the idea of a nature-based philosophy had been smeared by its opponents. Apologists for the industrial capitalist system, masquerading as “left-wing” and even “environmentalist”, constantly sought to suggest that there was something “fascist” about such an outlook. We quoted “social ecologists” Janet Biehl and … Continue reading For nature and freedom!

Posted on by winter oak

“We have realized that a detachment of man from Nature, from the Life-Whole, leads to his annihilation… No longer does man alone stand in the centerpoint of thinking, but rather Life as a Whole does, as it reveals itself in all living things on earth”. On the face of it, this statement sounds rather good. … Continue reading Organic radicalism: bringing down the fascist machine
